An architect-built home on a quiet Ravenswood street

When architect Pat FitzGerald set out to build a home for himself and his family, he had comfort and function, rather than architecture, as his priorities. Having lived in lofts, he placed a high value on openness, light and volume space.

FitzGerald and Property Consultants‘ Bill Senne were Joe’s tour guides through this three-bedroom / three-bath. The family friendly home, located on an oversized lot at 4613 N Hermitage Ave in Ravenswood, has a traditional exterior, a contemporary interior, and a two-car garage. Senne listed the home this week at $850,000.
